St Stephen's is open every day this week for private prayer from 10am to 4pm. Please go and remember the birth of Jesus in our beautifully decorated church. This is up to and including Christmas Eve.

Lord Jesus because of the tender mercy of our God you came to us from heaven:
At this Advent season as we prepare ourselves for Christmas, may we experience you coming as the rising sun to shine on the darkness in our lives and shine on those living in the shadow of death. Please show us the way to go and keep us safe as we walk in your sunlight.
Lord Jesus, you are the Sun of Righteousness, the risen Lord:
At this Advent season as we prepare ourselves for Christmas, will you spread your healing wings over us and all those who are in our prayers, and guide our feet into the path of peace. Please make right the wrongs that people are suffering, bring your reconciliation and restoration.
based on Luke 1:78-9; Malachi 4:2.
